ADC Adscope 600 Premium Cardiology Stethoscope, AFD Tunable Technology

At first let me say that before I purchased this stethoscope I had decided on the Littmann Master Cardiology. I know that often times one pays more for the name, but in most cases I'm OK with that as the name usually deserves the good reputation and in the case of the Littmann, that definitely stands. The Master Cardiology is a fantastic stethoscope. However, as I was doing my research on the Littmann MC I began to find more and more people mentioning and recommending this Adscope Cardiology stethoscope over the Littmann MC. These weren't just average users either, these were cardiologists, cardiology nurses, ICU nurses, and other such qualified people. So I decided to look into it. All I can say is that I am extremely glad I did. I will not repeat their reviews here, you can read them yourself if you would like. Right out of the box, this scope was amazing. The audio quality and volume is astounding. The very first time I tried it out, I was amazed. Mind you, I am not coming from a poor stethoscope either. My previous scope was an original HP Sprague, one of the best of it's kind. For those of you who know your scopes, you know what I'm talking about. But this new scope, simply blew me away. The sheer volume of what I was hearing was incredible. The binaurals are sturdy and the spring is tight. The earpieces are very comfortable. I switched to the larger set that came with the scope as I prefer to have all background noise blocked out when I'm auscultating. I literally can't hear a thing outside of the scope when I am wearing it. The head is heavy, like most cardiology scopes. I find it slipping down towards the direction of the head when I wear it around my neck. The tube is thicker than the Littmann, but that's no big deal. The tube does, however, have a seemingly permanent bend that matches the way it came in the box. This is somewhat annoying as it tends to only like to lie one way around my neck. As far as the bend causing issues when using the scope, none to worry about. As of this review, I have used the scope on approximately 60+ pediatric assessments and 20+ adult assessments. I didn't necessarily purchase this scope for pediatric assessments, it just happened to work out that way with my current rotations. These assessments went from very sick kids, to infants, to adults with a-fib. The scope performed flawlessly. In fact, my compadres keep borrowing it from me to listen to their own patients (they all have Littmanns, but not cardiology scopes). To top it all off, let's face it, the all black design is sexy! And with a name like, "The Ninja" how can you go wrong? Ha! The color looks awesome. I have noticed a very small spot on one of the edges of the head where it looks like the black is wearing off. I'm not too happy about that. But, I can live with it. This is one amazing scope. I paid half the price of the Littmann MC and I feel like I get better performance. Of course, it's mine so my opinion may be a little biased, but in any case, the performance is AT LEAST as good as the Littmann Master Cardiology and, it's half the price. Buy one! You won't regret it. On a side note, the little name tag thing that comes with this scope is junk. It's cheap plastic and doesn't really fit. Throw it out and find some other way to make it yours.

Incredible acoustics, sound quality, design, and feel. Feels like a "ferrari-costco" of a product; low price, buy above and beyoind. Bell feels heavy and legit. Ear pieces fit well. Tubing feels legit. Overall better than my Littman Cardiology IV which was twice the price. Feels durable, and I imagine they have some form of lifetime warranty or device refurbishment plans to match other competitors.

Excellent acoustics

This is my second pair, and they straight up replaced my first pair of the cardiology 600 series for no cost at all after i pretty much used it till every single rubber part on it was worn or completely destroyed over 6 yrs, through the covid wars and an undefeatable ER populace. This was my thank you purchase, because i have tested all kinds of top end stethoscopes from littman, MDF and even the EKO core series, for an acoustic device with no electronic amp, nothing comes close to the quality and clarity of this series. moreover the colour on the iridescent version is freaking amazeballs.. truly no words to express my gratitude to this brand and their manufacturing capabilities. I have personally recommended this steth to dozens of my colleagues and few went ahead and bought it too, I prolly will continue to do so unless i find something better or quit the profession all together, but my first ever ADC tactical black steth bell which they also refurbished and sent back is goin on the wall like a predator mask after the battles I've been through with it.

I needed a second scope to have at home as I like to leave mine at the office. I went with the reviews. I like this. It is a beautiful color. It has good sturdy quality and should last a good long time. I can hear easily with these and like that it is single sided. that is all I've ever used. I can't say that it is better than my Litmen but it is at least equal to it. The price is good for the product. I paid far more for my other and I've had it several years. This is a great value and gets the job done!

Ordered for my RN daughter (who does home visits for seniors). She says it sounds great! It was a an early birthday gift as her previous one was damaged and she was having issues listening to her patients.

Lo uso a diario y se escucha perfectamente lo ame

I put up with a basic Littman for years. I'm in home nursing currently so I didn't see a big need for a great scope until I had my latest clients. They both have very quiet lungs with collapsed lung bases and with Covid and their immunocompromise I want to know if there's consolidation VS clear lungs! Also, I went to do a manual BP on my newest client and couldn't hear the beat, never had that happen before. With the Adscope, I can hear all the lung sounds no problem and I was able to get a manual BP on my client (faint, but there!). I'm still getting the hang of the light pressure VS heavy pressure but so far I can hear everything I need to hear. It's definitely heavier than my old Littman and tends to slide to one side when around my neck. I'm not wearing it all day though so I ordered a little stethoscope case to protect it in my bag and I'm very happy!

I love the weight and the fit in the ears. Needs light pressure on the bell for best acoustics. The tubing is just OK in terms of sound...best to protect from rubbing on gowns etc. Although I prefer the DRG stethoscope for its noise reduction tubing, this one is good in terms of basic use for heart sounds and lung sounds as long as you know not to push very hard on the diaphragm. Excellent price!

Impressive both re sound quality and colour combination - love the gold with black piping. Made to impress with sound quality that makes it very easy to catch valve abnormalities. Totally recommended!!!!

Un producto maravilloso es una pena que no me sirviese para lo que lo necesitaba, ya que su tamaño es más bien un poquito grande para Consulta ideal para la calle no tanto

Great sound, is comfortable in the ears and has nice soft tubing. All my LM's tubing turned stiff after some time. No need to pay twice the price!

Very wary of buying an unknown brand for my precious stethoscope but I was so wrong! This is by far the best ever stethoscope I have owned. Full stop The quality of sound, feel, comfort… much better that the well known ones out tgere. And the lifetime guarantee is just irresistible! My first ever heart listening was like mind blowing! I could hear the blood rushing out into the different chambers. And perfect pitch lung sounds! Wow. Just wow.
